NSF implemented revised versions of the Biographical Sketch and Current and Pending (Other) Support formats

NSF’s new PAPPG, effective for proposals due on or after January 30, 2023, requires proposers to certify that a plan is in place for creating and maintaining Safe and Inclusive Working Environments for Off-Campus and Off-Site Research for that project.

Beginning January 25, 2023, the National Institutes of Health will require researchers to submit a Data Management and Sharing Plan (DMS Plan) with all new grant applications. This policy applies to all research, funded or conducted in whole or in part by NIH, that results in the generation of scientific data. To help researchers across the University of Michigan adapt to these new changes and securely share their research data, the Research Data Stewardship Initiative created a webpage that curates the information provided by NIH and other resources available at the university.

When using the University of Michigan's (U-M's) official address, please continue to use 503 Thompson Street. While we recognize that the Fleming Building is no longer in operation, the official U-M address, the address change takes time with SAM.gov and the FDP Clearinghouse. Rest assured, mail will arrive. We'll be sure to update everyone when this changes.

The Office of Research and Sponsored Projects enables and safeguards the conduct of research and other sponsored activity for the University of Michigan. We apply specialized regulatory, statutory and organizational knowledge in a timely and professional manner in order to balance the university's mission, the sponsor's objectives, and the investigator's intellectual pursuits.

There are a number of data resources available to the research community, including: a catalog of RA reports in Report Library, an expanding suite of visualizations in Tableau, and new/updated reports in BusinessObjects.
